I originally had it set just below where the ALC twitched, which gave me nearly 100W. Folks reported audio spurs, though. They were still present but not too bad at 80W. I turned it down to 50W, and they were gone.

I didn't hear or see substantial spurs or distortion in your signal, so I wonder why I need to turn my signal level down a lot lower for clean Tx audio?
